Carly do you have any idea how much we shorter people envy tall women?
I think the angst sets in early in school when kids are organised by height, and the tall ones are always singled out first.
Let's celebrate tall people!
Having said that I think I understand where your mum was coming from when she told you to stand tall.
I had a friend in high school who was probably 5 foot nine, and she was always so hunched.
I look at you and your friend longingly ... oh to have another few inches, all in the legs. 💜💜💜
